Damien and the crew of the Brupeg, a converted fishing trawler, face a clearance conflict while installing a new, oversized gearbox into the engine room.5:01 The gearbox sump drain plug currently rests against the steel floor of the bilge, preventing the unit from seating properly.8:20 To gain the necessary 20mm of clearance, the team evaluates several structural modifications, including grinding down a protruding bulkhead, notching the bilge ribs, or cutting out and flattening the V-shaped section of the bilge floor.11:54 Before performing any hot work, the crew must drain a large, oil-filled ballast tank located directly beneath the bilge.13:59 They successfully remove a seized bronze bung using a hammer and socket, then rig a pneumatic system to pressurize the tank to 15 psi, forcing the thick, viscous oil into external IBC containers via a gravity-assist hose.17:20 The team continues to weigh the structural implications of modifying the hull versus the gearbox sump.
